경기만 염하수로 입구인 영종대교 남단에서 평수기와 홍수기에 13시간동안 연속적으로 층별 유속관측을 수행하였다. 홍수기와 평수기에 한강과 임진강으로의 평균 담수유입량은 각각 약 $8000m^3/s$, $200m^3/s$로 40배의 큰 차이를 보이는데 이러한 변화가 잔차류의 공간 분포와 총 유출입량에 어떠한 차이를 보이는지 분석하였다. 수집된 자료의 분석을 위하여 조석주기 동안의 평균이 필요하며, 반복 관측된 자료의 연직위치와 수평격자위치를 일치시킬 필요성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 공간적 sigma 격자 체계로 변환시켰다. 변형된 sigma 좌표체계는 z-level상의 원시자료와 비교하였을 때 5%이내의 오차로 자료분석에 무리가 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 분석결과 평수기 단면 잔차류는 수로의 수심에 따라 패턴이 다른 수평적 2층 흐름 구조를 보였으며, 홍수기의 경우 표층에서는 낙조하고, 저층에서는 창조하는 수직적 2층 흐름구조를 보였다. 이는 담수의 유입량에 따라 단면에서 공간적 잔차류 흐름구조가 크게 변동되는 특성이 나타났다. 총 수송량은 평수기와 홍수기에 각각 $359m^3/s$, $261m^3/s$ 로 약 $100m^3/s$의 차이를 보였다. 홍수기 많은 양의 담수 유입이 발생하였지만, 총 수송량과 적은 상관도를 보인 것은 염하수로 남단 해역에서 Stokes drift의 크기가 강하게 나타나기 때문으로 보여지며, 총량은 강화도와 영종도 사이의 조간대 지역으로 이동하는 것으로 짐작된다.

The purpose of this study is to propose remedial devices through the analysis on the operation status of nature trails in the nine National Parks in Korea. To accomplish these goals, the field survey for the nature trail facilities and their nature environmental conditions and a questionnaire survey also had been done, and 1,102 samples have been collected. Nature trails are usually located where the visitors re concentrated for a certain season or year-round, and ease of the visits guaranteed. However, since most of trails are located along the valley, the courses have disadvantage of passing in a single trail. Also, many trails are using former tracking courses, and the environmental conditions are not satisfactory due to the damages incurred by the visitors. Since nature trails are still on the introductory stage, basic tactics such as the design of courses, construction methods, management skills needs further improvements. As the Natural Parks Act does not have any clear definition of nature trails, it invokes the definition of tracking course instead, which in turn hinders the development of the nature trails. The nature trail system was just introduced to Korean National Parks and a pioneer in the Korea. Therefore, when provincial and urban recreational parks wish to introduce the environmental education programs within each park system, nature trails in national parks can be performed as a role model. Further improvements should be made within the such fields as preliminary natural ecological survey, lacks of professional designers for the facilities, lacks of interpreter and interpretation within nature trails.

We analyzed how foraging area use changed in female Pipistrellus abramus during the breeding season. Radio tracking was used to follow 12 female P. abramus in Gyeongju City, from 2013 to 2015. We followed three bats in each of four stages of reproduction: early pregnancy, late pregnancy, lactation, and post-lactation. Our data showed that the usable area of a foraging site and the area that was actually used by bats in that site were different, and foraging site use also differed according to stage of reproduction. The bats used arable land the most, with use rates of 57%, 40.4%, and 73.2% during early pregnancy, late pregnancy, and lactation, respectively. Bats in a post-lactation state did not use arable areas at all and instead foraged over bodies of water 90% of the time. There was no difference in the use of each foraging environment between bats in early pregnancy and late pregnancy. However, bats in late pregnancy and those that were lactating did use arable land to different extents, and bats that were lactating and those that were post-lactation also used arable land and bodies of water to different extents.

We investigated habitat use and home range of a rescued and released white-naped crane using GPS tracking technology in Cheorwon, South Korea, from October 2016 to March 2017. Four types of roosting sites were identified: frozen reservoirs, paddy fields, rivers, and wetlands. Upon arrival, the white-naped crane preferred wetlands in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). In late wintering season, it showed a tendency to change main roosting sites in the following order: rice paddies, rivers, and frozen reservoirs. Among 14 sleeping places, Civilian Control Zone (CCZ) with various type of available habitats was more preferred than the DMZ. Places outside of CCZ were rarely used due to anthropogenic disturbances during the night. The tracked white-naped crane widely chose daytime feeding sites while moving around all over rice paddies in the CCZ. Mean diurnal movement distance was 10.5 km with a maximum of 24.8 km. Its home range measured with Minimum Convex Polygon (MCP) and Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) was 172.30 km² with MCP, 159.60 km² with KDE 95%, 132.48 km² with KDE 90%, and 42.45 km² with KDE 50%. All estimated values of home ranges were higher in the early and later winter than those in the middle period.

Groundwater flow paths and groundwater ages at a radioactive waste repository located in a coastal area of South Korea were evaluated using the hydrochemical and hydrogeological characteristics of groundwater, surface water, rain water, and seawater, as well as by numerical modeling. The average groundwater travel time in the top layer of the model, evaluated by numerical modeling and groundwater age (34 years), approximately corresponds to the groundwater age obtained by chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-12 analysis (26-34 years). The data suggest that the groundwater in wells in the study area originated up-gradient at distances of 140-230 m. Results of CFC analyses, along with seasonal variations in the δ¹⁸O and δD values of groundwater and the relationships between ²²²Rn concentrations and δ¹⁸O values and between ²²²Rn concentrations and δD values, indicate that groundwater recharge occurs in the summer rainy season and discharge occurs in the winter dry season. Additionally, a linear relationship between dissolved SiO₂ concentrations and groundwater ages indicates that natural mineralization is affected by the dilution of groundwater recharge in the rainy summer season.

The main aim of this study is to estimate home-range of the Korean raccoon dog(Nyctereutes procyonoides koreensis) at a rural area of Gurye in the southern part of South Korea. A radio-tracking was regularly carried out on 4 raccoon dogs for 2 days every 2 months in 2006. During the days, the radio-tracking was usually conducted every 1-3 hours through day-time to night-time. Among the 4 raccoon dogs, 2 individuals(a permanent breeding pair) could be extensively tracked for 5 to 7 months, including all 4 seasons. The result showed that total home-range sizes of the pair were 0.732 $km^2$ and 0.373 $km^2$ for 100% minimum convex polygons(MCP) and 100% kernel(K), respectively, during the monitoring period. Mean home-range sizes of the 2 raccoon dogs were 0.035-0,688 $km^2$ and 0.012-0.341 $km^2$ for MCP and K, respectively. Yearly home-range sizes of the male and female were similar to each other. However, home-range sizes of the raccoon dogs between day-time and night-time were quite different. Furthermore, the raccoon dogs showed a much broader home-range size in spring, summer and fall than in winter season. Finally, the pair had a broad overlapping home-range(about 70-95%), and 1 core area and 4 different feeding areas.

The fluctuation of VLBI visibility phase can be occurred, predominantly caused by the irregular distribution and motion of water vapor in the atmosphere at high frequencies (>1GHz). This radio-seeing effect shows up on filled-aperture telescopes as an anomalous refraction (AR). This can be shown as if the antenna pointing-offset increases, in other words the apparent displacement of radio sources from its nominal position happens. We carried out the single-dish observations on KVN sites in order to check the effect of AR from 2010 to 2014. Orion KL, U Her, and R Leo were observed with 1second sampling time at 22.235GHz and 43.122GHz simultaneously. Each source was observed with the tracking mode for 30 minutes per a source. We analyzed the structure function, power spectrum and Allan variance of the data according to a day and a night, a season and observatories. Finally, we can infer that the AR effect depends on the atmospheric environment, especially tropospheric turbulence.

This study was conducted to assess the validity of fecal coliforms to fecal streptococci ratio (FC/FS) for distinguishing the human from animal origin of fecal pollution in surface water. FC/FS ratio determined in effluent from municipal wastewater and human feces treatment plant (WWTP) and in downstream close to discharge of human feces was above 4 which indicates human origin. However FC/FS ratios determined seasonally in other water zones of the Nakdong River, even in the same sampling site, varied differently (above 4 or less than 0.7) due to different survival time of FC and FS and other environmental factors such as rainfall in watershed. Compared to other season, FC/FS ratios in winter were much lower regardless of the origin. It is concluded that the FC/FS ratio determined in surface water is not always valid for determining the origin of fecal pollution.

한반도 남방한계에 분포하는 열목어의 월동기 이동 경향과 월동지역의 특징 파악 및 산란기 이동을 평가하기 위하여 낙동강 상류지역에 서식하는 8마리의 열목어에 라디오 발신기(radio tag)을 삽입하여 2007년 12월부터 2008년 5월까지 추적 조사하였다. 월동기 동안 라디오 발신기(radio tag)를 부착한 열목어는 이동을 하더라도 인접한 소와 소 사이를 오가는 정도였으며, 하루에 약 8.6 m를 이동한 것으로 나타났다. 2월 말부터 수온이 약간씩 상승하기 시작했지만 각 개체가 눈에 띄는 이동을 보이진 않았다. 라디오 발신기(radio tag)를 부착한 열목어의 월동지역은 주로 여울 이후에 형성되어 있는 소로 약 1 m 정도 깊이에 수표면의 유속은 다소 빠르지만 심층부의 유속은 빠르지 않은 형태를 띄었고, 큰 암반과 인접하고 있는 지역으로 하상 구조는 모래가 50% 정도로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였고 자갈 등이 골고루 분포하고 있었다. 산란시기에는 열목어 활동성도 높아 하루에 약 96.2 m를 이동한 것으로 나타났다. 상류로 이동한 개체는 BL4와 BL6으로 BL4는 24일간 총 4.65 km에 이르는 거리를 이동한 것으로 나타났으며 BL6은 2.23 km를 이동하였다. BL5와 BL7은 각각 3.74 km와 2.81 km 하류로 이동하였고 BL8은 하루만에 109 m 하류로 이동한 후 신호가 사라졌다. 열목어의 상류로의 이동은 수위와 유량 증가 이후 나타났으며 이 시기는 기온의 증가로 인하여 대다수의 눈이 녹으면서 이 시기까지 거의 단절되어 있던 백천계곡과 낙동강이 연결되는 시기와 거의 일치한다. 하류로이동한 개체들 대부분은 하류지역의 넓은 소로 이동하여 여름철 성장기를 보내는 것으로 나타났다.
